Quick Summary
The Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), specifically FCI Phoenix, AZ, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for temporary Dental Assistant and Rad Tech Services. This sole source action is intended to prevent an interruption of essential medical services for Adults-in-Custody following the expiration of a previous Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. The proposed contractor is SMARTCARE GOVERNMENT GROUP.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC details the need to procure temporary medical services, specifically for Dental Assistants and Rad Techs, at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Phoenix. The services are critical to ensure continuous healthcare provision for inmates. The temporary contract is necessary because the previous FSS Contract V797D50497 expired on February 14, 2026, and a new contract/Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is currently pending award. This action bridges the gap to maintain essential services.
